RE: is the moon the whitetail rut trigger?
The reason I love this post is because it actually has something to do with hunting. Not bow sights strings, blah blah blah. So I will start again. A quote from the book in question "Hunting Whitetails by the Moon". "Of all the times to hunt, the seeking phase is one of the best,especially for the tree-stand hunter. The peak of this period is usually three to four days before and two to three days after the rutting moon. During this time, bucks are on the move but not yet chasing every doe they encounter. Their movement patterns through funnels and along scrape and rub lines are more predictable. Unfortunatlely, the seeking phase only last a short time before blending into the chase phase. What do you think????
